Question

What 2 things do plants produce that animals cannot?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Photosynthetic

2. Asexual Reproduction

Explanation:

Photosynthetic: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants capture energy from sunlight, and uses Carbon Dioxide and water to make glucose. This is made possible due to the present of the organelle chloroplasts, which are what trap the sunlight and create energy for the plant. Chloroplasts are made of the pigment chlorophyll, which is what does all the work and causes the plants to appear green. Because plants are able to thrive without consuming any other organisms for energy, they are called autotrophs. Some plants, such as the famous Venus Fly Trap, are both heterotrophs and autotrophs, meaning they obtain energy both from sunlight and other organisms, but these are rare and most often are going elsewhere for nutrients such as nitrogen rather than exclusively for energy. This is the main classification difference between plants and animals, since animals must consume their energy in the form of food from other organisms.

Asexual Reproduction: Asexual reproduction occurs in plants when the parent plant creates a runner plant that is genetically identical to itself. By replicating itself, the plant does not need to depend on other sources for its reproduction.
